Sometimes, when I try to subscribe, this happens. Should I just wait? Or is it some error? It’s been pending for a day already.

    I’m seeing this especially with lemmy.ml communities. The consensus is that it’s due to latency, but what’s weird is if I cycle the subscription it may go through instantaneously. It’s looking more like a bug to me or maybe a combination of code issues and latency.

      You’ll probably find posts from those communities show up in your sub feed just fine. Seems like it’s just a visual bug but you are actually subscribed.

        Yeah I understand it still works even if it states subscribe pending, but still it’s misleading.

        I think it’s more than just an instance failing to respond. I mean if it hung for a bit then changed eventually that would be acceptable, but it gets permanently locked in that state, smells of a bug.
